We're not going to think too much of the European Championship quarter-finals. It is, however, hard to believe that Wuck and his team will not be looking to that Euro 2025 last-eight game for both motivation and inspiration. That match in Basel was memorable a 10-player Germany coming from behind to beat their old rivals on penalties in a game they arguably should never have won but which showed them much about their character.

Goalkeepers (3) Jordan Pickford, Dean Henderson, Nick Pope Pickford is as nailed down a number one as it is possible to be and is set for his third World Cup between the posts barring any calamity. Henderson is regularly excellent in goal for Palace who continue to impress, and James Trafford's relegation to the Manchester City bench opens up a spot. Nick Pope is a reliable third-choice option uunless Tuchel thinks taking Trafford will be a beneficial experience for tournaments to come.

We're up for it and want to show what we're capable of. We just have to play our football and have fun doing it - wait until a gap opens up. You have to be patient. We're in a situation where we have to give everything, and that's what we'll do. We want to give it our all so that we can convince the fans and everyone else,

Melissa Andreatta has handed Scotland Under-23 defender Georgia Brown her first A squad call-up as the head coach names her squad for this month's friendlies against Morocco and Switzerland. Brown, 23, who plays in the USL Super League for Sporting Club Jacksonville, made her under-23s debut in May and impressed in wins over Iceland. The towering centre-back is one of four changes from Andreatta's first squad as boss earlier this year.

Heimir Hallgrimsson says he opted to stay loyal to the Ireland players who flopped so badly in the last game of the World Cup qualifiers in Armenia to give them a chance to redeem themselves in the double header away to Portugal and at home to Armenia.

The Hungarian has been one of the Reds' best players in the young season, with his outrageous free kick against Arsenal being the cherry on top at the moment. He played as a makeshift right-back versus both Newcastle and the Gunners with Jeremie Frimpong out injured. However, the Dutchman will be returning sooner than later and it will be interesting to see where Szoboszlai slides in for Slot on a weekly basis.

We expect a tough night, they're a competent side,

He's been about for a while and he's still got football in his legs. He might even have more with this move, I don't know,

Seamus Coleman has been left out the Republic of Ireland squad for World Cup qualifiers against Hungary and Armenia next month. The 36-year-old defender missed the June friendlies with Senegal and Luxembourg through injury but has been an unused substitute in both of Everton's Premier League games this season. Despite his return to fitness, coach Heimir Hallgrimsson has opted against an international recall for his squad captain.

Head coach Lee Carsley has named a 29-man squad for a training camp at St George's Park, needing to trim it by six players ahead of Euro 2025.
